Ok, I'll double check which kernel that box is running (probably
Potato's default). Are there any docs that explain what apt does and
doesn't do and what must be done by hand (other than reconfiguring the
boot loader)? I've upgrade kernels manually before, but that was on a
RH machine when I didn't know how to configure modules.
Thanks,
